"I haven't seen an ocean for years, but I know one's out there," states Bolina. In fact, it's here in Bolina's book, a veritable tidal wave of verse, lines spilling forth propulsively and carrying with them keen observation of the everyday, "the jamboree of a crosswalk." This Green Rose Prize winner is sophisticated but eminently embraceable, a tip-off of what's to come.—BH
